anybody know this. I always guess at 7 pounds/gallon. I was very close on weight the other day and almost out of fuel. Just wondering if anybody knows the accurate weight of diesel.
#2 fuel oil (which I deliver) weighs approximately 7.2 pounds per gallon. Red dyed diesel fuel sometimes is rebranded as #2 fuel oil (heating oil) because the specs overlap. I assume the weight is very close.
I was told 7.2 lbs. I know it's under 8 but figure on 8 lbs per gallon to be safe as Ridge said because the weight can change between summer and winter months and other factors that are above my head.
